I just wound the warp for the color and weave gamp. All was going well until I was up to 5 threads. I got how to space the threads out in my hand and control them with my thumb and forefinger. I was using a spool holder that's like a piece of wood with metal dowels in it. It's circular. My problem was that the threads were tangling before they got to my fingers. I couldn't even get a quarter turn on my warping reel without having to stop and de-tangle. I ended up cutting the threads and re-tying... a couple of times. I'm thinking that the yarn spools were too close together? Being a mutant female, I'm not into shoes, so I am bereft of shoe boxes and cannot try that technique. Any thoughts, suggestions?? Thanks, Robin

I have this problem, too, Robin. It’s awkward, and I’ve not found a way to eliminate the problem. I’ve even rigged up a horizontal method with a long rod in a box to no avail. There must be a trick to it.
